- Comment on Georgia president vetoes divisive 'foreign agent' law 5 months ago:
Unfortunately:
However, her veto is only symbolic as the prime minister's Georgian Dream party has enough members in parliament to override it by holding another vote.

Oh wow, I guess it doesn't take too much. I copied your survey post over to r/nim with a "cross-posted from nim@programming.dev" link, and also invited the author of Enu to post here. I'll keep at it.
- Comment on Community health check-in | November 2023 11 months ago:
Alright, not a bad idea.

I haven't been working on my nim project lately, so I haven't had much to say. I've been missing using the language, though.
I resubscribed to r/nim on reddit just now, so if I see anything particularly interesting there I'll cross-post it.
- Comment on Lemmy devs blocklist the anime instance Ani.social from join-lemmy.org and Lemmy.ml 1 year ago:
I think especially Lemmy.ml should rather focus more on cleaning up their Tankie & moderator issues
As much as I would love to see it, I don't think the lead devs of lemmy, who own both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, are going to ban themselves.

The government doesn't want you to know this, but identities are free. You can just take them. I have 458 identities.

- Comment on Would it be okay to host FossCAD on lemm.ee? 1 year ago:
Cool cool. Ping me once you get it set up? I'm not directly involved in any FossCAD stuff, but I'm interested in seeing more firearms content in general on the threadiverse.
- Comment on Would it be okay to host FossCAD on lemm.ee? 1 year ago:
Looks like kbin blocks hackliberty. I'm assuming that at least a few others do too, due to the conspiracy theorist bent of hackliberty. In any case, midwest.social is significantly larger, and you'd have better reach there.
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 1 year ago:
US conservatives used to actively distance themselves from nazis and fascists. That was before the Tea Party, which later morphed into MAGA. When a fascist movement became their key to power, they had to stop repudiating nazis and other fascists and start running interference for them.
- Comment on Would it be okay to host FossCAD on lemm.ee? 1 year ago:
Maybe midwest.social would be a good fit? They're a US instance, so there shouldn't be any legal issues with FossCAD stuff there. They've also got a Socialist Rifle Association community already, so it seems that gun communities aren't unwelcome.

the word “Nazi” totally lost it’s meaning and the scope is ever increasing
Sus.
- Comment on Lemmy & Pangora Instance Selector 1 year ago:
for topic based instances. I was just looking for an updated list the other day.
I've got a pretty good list here: https://kbin.social/m/specialized_instances/t/186667/Big-list-of-specialized-instances
- Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear 1 year ago:
Did you look at the image they posted? Whether or not they're a nazi isn't in question here, they're not trying to hide that at all.
- Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear 1 year ago:
No, see, you just don't understand the authoritarian, extremist propaganda! If you'd just read more Lenin, you'd get it! /s
- Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear 1 year ago:
Weird to see a nazi posting American History X memes. Are you confused?
- Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear 1 year ago:
Kbin has instance blocking, community/magazine blocking, and user blocking.
Kbin doesn't have instance blocking yet, just domain blocking, which is for hiding post that link to a particular domain. Domain blocking is also bugged right now, and will just hide random stuff from you.

I'm confused. There doesn't anything happening in this image?

Don't you think you've created enough dead communities?
- Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 1 year ago:
So I was just looking through literature.cafe a bit, and came across this excellent comment chain by Janvier. It outlines the history and culture of Hexbear, and makes a very solid argument for defederating them.
TL;DR- Don't defederate Hexbear because they're a bunch of genocide-apologist authoritarians. Defederate them because they're annoying, and will burn out your moderators.
- Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 1 year ago:
I see a small corner of the lemmyverse...
I see your instance...
...alone...And a lot of defederations...
Jesus that's a lot of defederations...

Subscribed. I've seen an anime or two in my day, so I might be able to help identify.

- Comment on Programming.Dev Feature Requests 1 year ago:
Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean. Wasn't thinking about having to convert the IDs. Plus the actual local copy of the post needs to be available, not just a connection to the remote instance.
- Comment on Programming.Dev Feature Requests 1 year ago:
Should be able to just compare against the list of known instances. It'll miss the ones that aren't connected yet, but that should fix itself once someone subscribes to a remote community on the missing instance.
- Comment on Why is this instance federated with HexBear.net? 1 year ago:
Subclasses rise up! No longer will we tolerate the tyranny of the superclass!
- Comment on If bullshit jobs are *really* bullshit, how do businesses justify the expense? 1 year ago:
Other commenters have covered the organizational inefficiencies that allow bullshit jobs to exist pretty well. I'd like to also point out that larger organizations have more of these inefficiencies (part of what is known as "diseconomies of scale", the counterpart to the more well-known term "economies of scale"). Our capitalist society actively subsidizes larger organizations, both literally and figuratively, resulting in more bullshit jobs and more economically wasteful behavior in general.
A non-capitalist free market society (such as a mutualist one) would have significantly smaller and more efficient organizations across the board. One can't eliminate organizational efficiency entirely, but we currently have a lot of room for improvement.
- Comment on Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance? 1 year ago:
Don't stretch yourself too thin, though. Might be something to back-burner if money is tight.
- Comment on Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance? 1 year ago:
I'm surprised that this doesn't exist already. There's terefere.eu - "Arts & history instance", but it seems to be down at the moment so I can't see more details. There's also crystals.rest - "A general instance for livestreaming, anime, and retro art!", but that's just for one specific type of art.
